Not sure. Maybe we can get Haim to weigh in on this. I believe he has DSL service. ...would DSL fit into this modem tax? Does DSL plug into the local phone loop?... Nick

Thomas I have a ADSL modem on a regular telephone line. Was able to order up to 7 megbyte downstream bu why the bucks as teh internet itself can not handle such speeds. I settled for a 640K line. The fastes I got was yesterday by downloading 2 files from Diamond Multimedia at 55Kbyte/sec. Very pleased wen it works but you need a speedy PC 450 MHz or up to enjoy the benefits. I ordered an internal from Efficient Networks (Speed Stream 3060) it is not a finished product and in conjunction with WIN98 it failed several times. 1 Soundcard 2 monitors one analog modem and one DSL IRQ's get scrambled. <GG> Wen it works it is great hot online and ISP service for $49. Modem $99 Hope it helps Haim
